“…At this time, there are more than 200 commercial CMMS packages available in North America alone, Campbell (1995). The military is still in the front-end of maintenance, for instance with two projects aimed at computerised life cycle cost (LCC) analysis of weapon systems, including preventive maintenance considerations, Hansen et al (1992) and Awtry et al (1991). LCC simulation is also the topic of Ostebo (1993).…”

Purpose -Maintenance management information technology (MMIT) systems have existed for some 40 years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the advancement of these systems and compares the development of MMIT with other corporate information technology (IT) systems. Design/methodology/approach -This paper is a literature study of 97 scientific papers within the topic of MMIT in the period 1988 to 2003. Additional readings have been made in books covering MMIT. Findings -The paper finds that the focus of MMIT has changed in several aspects during the 40 years that have been investigated; from technology to use; from maintenance function to maintenance as an integrated part of the business; from supporting reactive maintenance to proactive maintenance; and from operative to strategic maintenance considerations. Advancements in MMIT have in general followed the development of corporate IT. Research limitations/implications -Further studies to cover application-specific development, for instance the use of decision support systems within maintenance management and to cover literature after 2003, are of interest. Practical implications -Knowledge about the development of MMIT adds to the understanding of today's computer applications for maintenance management, which is crucial for every maintenance manager using or purchasing MMIT. The findings could be used as a means to identify the future trends of MMIT, as well as possibilities and problems with the new technology, tools, techniques and methods. Originality/value -Papers dealing with the development of maintenance management IT are scarce and this paper represents the first full review of MMIT so far.

“…Jokubaitis and Quinn (1992) have discussed the new army methods for assessing the RAM requirements of a system. Hansen et al (1992) developed a RAM expert system (RAMES) to assist a weapon system manager to conduct weapon system RAM performance analysis. Collas (1994) has given a simple methodology for assessing the complex system availability and reliability.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of RAMS engineering in industry and research. Design/methodology/approach -A range of research articles (1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) covering RAMS engineering is discussed to provide a practical and theoretical overview of RAMS engineering in industry and research. Findings -The paper provides information about the current scenario and also about the past scenario of RAMS engineering in research and industry. Research limitations/implications -This paper reviews much of the literature on RAMS engineering. The literature is collected from major journals and conference proceedings, the period covered is from 1988 to 2005. The authors have tried to make it reasonably comprehensive, but those papers which are not included were either inadvertently overlooked or considered peripheral to this survey. In the present work the authors have only considered those articles which have included two or more aspects of RAMS. Practical implications -The paper is a very useful source of information for researchers working in the area of RAMS engineering. Originality/value -This paper offers help to researchers in understanding the current and past status of RAMS.
